It’s that time of year again, friends. Today I turned 24 which ultimately is boring and uneventful because time is an illusion and I feel the same today as I did yesterday. But regardless of that, I want to share with you a list of 24 things I’ve learned this year. I’m killing it with these yearly posts. Gotta build that #brand. Anyway, without further adieu, here it is.
- Be thankful
- Forgive even if they don’t deserve it
- If you are uncertain, ask
- Breathe
- If you’re stuck in a rut, challenge yourself
- It’s okay to need time alone
- Starting over is always an option
- You won’t always feel this way™
- Moving will always suck
- Be patient
- Listen before you speak
- Don’t drink caffeine if you’re feeling anxious
- Drink more water in general
- You are not your limitations, weaknesses or illness
- Asking for help, although difficult, does not make you weak
- Sometimes you lose friends no matter how hard you try
- Don’t waste time regretting mistakes, learn from them and grow
- No one is perfect
- Life rarely goes as planned
- Question everything
- Don’t wait to make the changes you are passionate about
- Rest but don’t give up
- Buy things you like even if others don’t. You’re your own person for a reason.
- Be compassionate towards others as well as yourself.
What is the biggest thing you’ve learned in your lifetime?
Today I’m thankful for making it another year
Happy Birthday!

Hi there, happy belated birthday! I love this list– what a nice way to reflect on your year. And it looks like you found some nuggets of wisdom this year. I especially like #11. Sometimes it is so hard to LISTEN, rather than just waiting for your next turn to speak. I have to remind myself of this from time to time. 🙂

It’s sooo hard to just listen and just wait to respond. Thankfully I’ve had a lot of practice at it. It get easier with time.
